ENGLAND LEANIS OF Use .
Telephoning to Lightships
. Adopted. _
The suCcess of experimentsoconducted
by the United States Lighthouse Board
for establishing telephonic communica-
tion between lightships and the shore
has attracted the attention of a EurOpean
Government, which had failed to solve
the problem after years ‘of trial, but
which now propose to take prompt ad-
vantage of the achievements of Ameri~
can ingenuity. The Treasury Depart-
ment, upon application, has already
furnished copies of the report, to several
foreign Ministers in Washington. and
the system perfected at Sandy Hook
will soon be in operation abroad, while,
through lack of funds and the failure
of Congress to make appropriation for
the purpose, the United States service
is prevented from enjoying the benefits
of its own enterprise.
The principal advantage of commu.
nication with lightships anchored at sea
being that of reporting incoming steam-
ers and other maritime news, which is
not within the province of the Light-'
house Board, that organization has
naturally deferred to those whose in-
terests are more directly involved to
urge legislative action, and they,havo
so far neglected the opportunity. The
Board has suggested the advisability of
'1 he Device for
establishing a. floating telephone station '
at sea off Fire Island, upon which it
would embrace the opportunity to dis-
play alight as an aid to navigation, but
the newsgathering part of such an en
terprise would necessarily be under
other auspices than those of the Board,
which has therefore hesitated to take
the initiative in the matter, though
warmly endorsing the project.

handling it, he enjoys a vast measure of
prestige, as well as popularity, among
cotton men, and his opinion on matters
affecting cotton is regarded with much
interest throughout the South and

When is a Woman Old?
-“When is a woman old ?” is the latest
question which an inquiring spirit has
addressed to all the leading actresses in
Germany. Some of the answers are
worth bearing in mind. Frau Nuscha
Butze is of the opinion:
“A woman is only old when she
tries by force to become young again.”
Rosa Bertens says: “A Woman is old
when she begins to ask hersElf, ‘When
is a woman old?’ ” ‘
Jennie Gross keeps to the safe saying'
“A woman is as 'old as she looks.”
Marie Pospischil considers that “As
long as a woman believes in youth and
clings to her youth she appears young,
even when she is not really so.” ' ,
Marie Reisenhofer declares enigmati-
cally: “Woman is old when she begins
to love reason and finds no love in
return.” ' .
Clara Ziegler, the celebrated trage-
dienne, is more genial and consoling in
some respects. According to her:
,‘ When is a. woman old?” “The con-
ceited, never; the unhappy, too soon;
and the wise at the right time.”
Made Easy for Them.
More men are injured by having
things made easy for them than by hav-
ing their path beset with difficulties, for
it encourages them to stay themselves
on circumstances, whereas their su-
preme reliance needs to be on their own
personal stint—Dr. Parkhurst. ‘

JOHNIL. A GOOD TALKER.
Sullivan Has a Little Argument with
Evangelist Sankey. _,
The Sullivan 'of the present day will
discuss almost any subject in’ prefer—_
ence to prize fighting. It is dilierent
no doubt, when the wine is in and the
atmosphere reeks of pugilistic prattle.
Then his thoughts turn to
The things that were, that are not,
and he speaks in an unchristian spirit
of "that dude Corbett,” who despoiled
him of his crown. But Sullivan cold
and sober is a reasoning animal, and
whatever references he may then make
to the late unpleasantness are chiefly
remarkable for the dispassionate way
in which they are uttered. ‘
Any one who conversed with Sulli-
van a few years ago and will converse
with him now can scarcely help no-
ticing that the “big fellow" hasim-
proved wonderfully as a conversation—
alist. Naturally intelligent, and 'with
amemory that is retentive to an ex-
traordinary degree, he has by keeping
close track of the news and by nibbling
at periodicals and useful books generah
1y, reached a stage where he can talk
entertainingly on any scheme. As Eu-
gene O’Rourke remarked” with pride:
“John can stand a tap onalmost any-
thing from the Cuban Rebellion to the
cathode ray:”
But a chat with Sullivan without
some reference to “affairs (In fist” would
be a good deal like an omelette with
the eggs omitted, so that when John L.
had skipped like a ponderous butterfly
from one important issue of the day to
another, the Examiner interviewer gave
the ex-champion’s thoughts a gentle
wrench ringward.
“This fellow Fitzsimmons has proved
himself a fighter,” said Sully, "and I’m
sure he will have no difficulty in get-
ting at least 810,000 backing against
Corbett. Such being the case I don't
see. why Corbett wants to fight over in
England, unless it is that Corbett knows
something about himself that the public
doesn’t know, and prefers one of those‘
English twenty-round goes to a good
old American fight to the finish. Even
at that I think Corbett is the better
man of the two, because he is so much
c‘leverer. '
Sullivan believes that Fitzsimmous
will eventually agree to meet Corbett,
and he believes‘the fight will be a stub-
born one. He does not think‘that pu-
gilism is becoming a lost ark. but is of
the Opinion that future legislation will
provide for contests in pfoperly organ-
ized clubs, and that ref 9: ees will be en-
dowed with authority t.) decide matches
before they' are brutal, owing to the
marked superiority of one or the other
of the combatants. .
‘*_I believe in pugilism and I am not
sore against any man because he differs
from me,” said John. “I think, though,
that the ministers are meddling in mat—
ters that (L zn’t concern them when they
interfere ith the game. Why, down
at San Jo ' the other night a clergyman
was poin: -I out who has been railing
at. fights 101‘ years, and where do you
think he was? Right in the front-row,-
.-gud he has to be on hand early to get
there.
.“I traveledwith Sankey, the evangel-
ist, recently, and I had a bit of an argu-
ment with him on the subject of pu-
gilism versus the pulpit. He said a
good many things that I couldn’t con-
tradict, and I guess I got back at him.
i said to him:
“ ‘Now, Mr. Sankey, we all . know
you’re sincere, but don’t you think that
even in your game there are a lot of
bunco steerers?’
“Well, sir, he laughed and took it
good naturedly, but I notice he did not

A MINIATURE REPUBLIC '
A Charity which Teaches Industry and
Thrift to Boys and Girls.
During a recent address before the
New York League of Political Educa-
tion Mr. James A. Cruikshank thus de-
scribed a miniature republic where
children are taught industry:
“We take the street boys and girls up
to Tompkins County to a. beautiful hill-
side, where they can learn to be incle-
pendent, to think for themselves, and
steal the, farmers’ apples and have a
good time.
“Last summer we had 300 children
there, and we started our republic. It
is a. military republic, with bugle calls
for orders, drill, dress parade, and,
when the beautiful starry flag goes up
to the top of that 60-foot pole and all
those youngsters sing ‘My Country, ’tis
6f Thee,’ it’s the grandest sight I have
ever seen. There are indnstrial'classes
f for boys and girls.
"‘But the finest thing of all is that
they pay for everything they get, and.
are paid for everything they do. Not
in the coin of the realm, but in card-
board, which serves the very same
purpose.
“It costs every child ten cents for
each meal, ten cents a day for lodging
and three cents for taxes. So they
must work or get into the pauper class.
We have our banking department, our
Senate and House of Representatives,
and in every way self-government. The .
Senators are elected for two weeks, and
the Representatives for one week, as
the boys go through. the form of an
election quite often.”
